This is a failed proposal. Consensus for its implementation was not established within a reasonable period of time. If you want to revive discussion, please use the talk page or initiate a thread at the village pump. |
Paid Editing Proposals |

No paid advocacy (talk) (closed: opposed) |
Paid editing policy proposal (talk) (closed: opposed) |
Conflict of interest limit (talk) (closed: opposed) |
Bright lines is a series of lines which if a user crosses, will result in sanctions.
Lines edit
Any user will be sanctioned if, after an appropriate warning, they repeatedly and deliberately edit an article to do any one of these:
- Insert false or dubious information per WP:Hoax, Wikipedia:Vandalism#Hoaxing_vandalism, Wikipedia:Verifiability, and WP:GRAPEVINE
- Inappropriately disparage or praise the subject of the article without citing appropriate reliable sources, and without ensuring that the article contains any known concerns regarding the nature of the disparagement
- Remove or suppress reliably sourced information that appropriately balances praise or disparagement in an article
Warning edit
- An appropriate warning would be a message left on a user's talkpage that clearly identified the behaviour causing concern, and the article where the behaviour occurred.
